GISELE BÜNDCHEN AND TOM BRADY'S LOS ANGELES HOME The supermodel and star quarterback commune with family and nature in a welcoming, eco-conscious residence far removed from the bright lights of the runway and the gridiron First, a caveat: Anyone expecting the home of supermodel Gisele Bündchen and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to be a lavish pleasure dome replete with sultry sirens and gridiron gods cavorting around the pool is in for a serious letdown. Likewise, those who imagine a sprawling palace staffed with a battalion of liveried footmen proffering protein shakes on silver trays have also missed the mark. The reality of Bündchen and Brady’s life in Los Angeles’s Brentwood neighborhood is far more—dare we say it?—normal. “I like simplicity and coziness,” says the renowned Brazilian beauty. “I want to live in a place that feels like a real home, where you can put your feet up on the couch and just relax.” Brady seconds the notion: “Gisele and I have eight sisters between us, and there are lots of kids. We built this house as a sanctuary for our family—a place where we can enjoy being together.” The couple’s L.A. story began roughly six years ago, when Bündchen and Brady started making regular excursions to the sunny shores of Southern California during the NFL off-season. On one of those trips, prior to their marriage in 2009, they discovered an open lot with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean near the house they were renting. They immediately knew the patch of land would one day be home. “It was important for us to plant roots for our family, and since we both enjoy the creative process, we decided to start from scratch,” Brady recalls. (The couple has a three-year-old son, Benjamin, and a baby daughter, Vivian Lake, along with six-year-old John, Brady’s son from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.) To help refine their vision of domestic bliss, the pair engaged architect Richard Landry and one of his frequent collaborators, interior designer Joan Behnke. “I’m all about team dynamics and putting the right people together,” says the future Hall of Famer and owner of three Super Bowl rings. “We knew Richard and Joan could take us where we wanted to go without imposing a signature look. They understood that we wanted a comfortable house, not a style statement.” For Bündchen and Brady living well also means living responsibly. Bündchen is a global ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme, and the couple is acutely aware of issues related to the conservation of natural resources. One of their primary imperatives when building their home was to use as many recycled components as possible and to implement energy and water systems that would ameliorate the family’s impact on the land. In addition to composting, gray-water technology for irrigation, and environmentally friendly construction materials, the pair installed two substantial arrays of photovoltaic solar panels (one next to the garden, the other on the roof of the house) that would meet all of the property’s electricity needs. “From the beginning we asked everyone involved in the design and construction, ‘How can we make it as sustainable as possible?’” Bündchen says. http://www.architecturaldigest.com/celebrity-homes/2013/gisele-bundchen-tom-brady-los-angeles-eco-conscious-home-article

This is from the Forbes 2007 list: Top models like those on our list still bank millions, but only once a multiyear contract is secured. The days of $10,000 runway fees are over. Top models don’t even do runway. It’s considered an internship process for the hundreds of anonymous 15- and 16-year-old foreign girls who swarm the runways of New York, Paris and Milan each season. They do 70 shows in six weeks and are paid about $250 an hour their first season. A good hardworking model can make $200,000 a season. But chances are that model, once the season is over, will never be seen or heard from again. http://www.forbes.com/2007/07/19/models-media-bundchen-biz-media-cz_kb_0716topmodels.html

Thnks for interviewmagazine and wow that Bazaar cover is new to me.

Hi welcome Rare pic of Gisele and makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury/ w mag editor Edward Enninful (wonder if its new...) http://www.getthegloss.com/article/sarah-vine-introducing-charlotte-tilbury-s-first-make-up-range

Good. That would have been as awkward as inviting Hanson to walk alongside Stephanie and Helena in the 90s. Well maybe not since so many VS models look like teeny boppers these days.

September Interview mag shes in the Peter Lindbergh retrospective. Probably old shots though. Also her Chanel ad is in the September issue of Vogue, better than nothin.

Yeah her accident probably played a role, but in this 2012 interview she hints that she thinks her tats kept her from being booked and wants them removed. (And I remember her being excited tweeting about being signed to a new agency and even going on "go sees" in NYC. Which shocked me that Niki has to do go sees like a new model does. Thats a good point about the teen idol thing justwastingtime. Shes one of my favorite models of all time so I get sad not seeing her more,thats all. She has a lovely family and seems happy is all that matters. http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/aline/niki-taylor-m-removing-four-tattoos-because-stopping-210147284.html
